Fiberboards from loblolly pine refiner groundwood: effects of gross wood characteristics and board density

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Boards for insulation and and structural uses are being manufactured in increasing quantities. The coarse fiber required for these products can be disk-refined from untreated wood chips. Since such fiber is produced in essentially one mechanical operation, continuous control is required of the raw material as well as the refining process.
